創作背景
在《Run The World (Girls)》的創作過程中,碧昂絲為了做出新的嘗試,達到更高的目標,她添加了非洲等不同地區的文化元素和電子元素,採樣了說唱歌手梅傑·拉扎爾的單曲《Pon de Floor》,儘管她認為這樣的的風格通常是無法融合的,但這讓她想到了自己的愛。

那些臭男人以為
他們可以和我們一樣落雁沉魚,但並沒有
鈔票多的讓男人們自愧不如
看他們還敢不敢再無禮
男人們別想輕易帶走我的姑娘們
這節奏或許很瘋狂
但是對於我來說早已習慣
曾經也被這感覺迷倒過
現在我要和姐妹們昏天黑地
這也是我剛剛在放的故事
吸取我的經驗你就能夠成為情場高手
我得好好打扮打扮自己
人性的缺點擋不住我的魅力
我現在感覺自己棒極了,這也是我希望你們記住的
親愛的我只是玩玩,過來吧
即使你討厭我,我還是希望你能崇拜我
我的信念可以高築城牆
是我們姑娘的,我們就得好好享受
男人們會自動為奴
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
這裡真的太熱了
打碟的別害怕,再來一遍從頭開始
我正在為全世界的姐妹們伸張正義
大家都為我的壯舉舉杯喝彩
所有想造反的,姐的名字足以讓你聞風喪膽
你們阻止不了我的
打破自己的生物鐘抓緊時間掙票子
為了姐妹們的快樂打拚
男人們都為我們做苦力
那些崇拜姐的男人們
姐會給你們陽光照耀的
深知每個個男人都抗拒不了我們
我們是如此有商業頭腦
曬親子自拍是應得的幸福時光
幸福之後依然不忘努力工作
所以你最好別跟我玩小兒科
沒本事的最好別過來
依然希望你崇拜我
即使你討厭我
我的信念可以高築城牆
在這個國度
姐妹們沐浴聖水穿金戴銀
男人們就做身下奴
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
我們是誰?
我們掌握著什麼?
是整個世界!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
我們是誰?
我們掌握著什麼?
是整個世界!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
我們是誰?
我們掌握著什麼?
是整個世界!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
我們是誰?
我們掌握著什麼?
是整個世界!
誰運轉整個世界?是姑娘們!
